Gold Prices Have Risen Ever Since Fed Cut Rates
Prices of the oldest commodity known to mankind has only risen recently. The rise in the yellow metal prices can be attributed to US Central Bank Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates earlier this week. One more reason is rise in demand by local jewellers in India ahead of the upcoming festive and wedding season. Towards the end of every year, gold prices generally glitter owing to rise in demand in India.
Moreover, it has been reported that gold imports in India more than doubled to $10.06 billion in August 2024. Hike in imports due to huge domestic demand also leads to price surge.
Silver prices too have not disappointed investors. The grey metal prices have not fallen for the last eight days consecutively.
